Working on something else today, but just came across this and it’s too big not to share and talk about:
Remember all the way back to last week when the Biden administration insisited they weren’t at all involved in this mess? (Perhaps not realizing how weak that made them look — not being given a heads-up that the FBI was going to raid a former president)
At this point it’s clear that Biden and the Democrats are desperate for ANYTHING to disqualify Trump from running in 2024. And they’re unable to see that this is going to backfire — even if they’re successful.
A couple other stories I don’t have time to devote a whole article to:
A look into footage from January 6th that doesn’t exactly line up with the ‘insurrection’ narrative. If only somebody had the power to release ALL the video evidence so we could see exactly what happened!
I’m a fan of Ron Wyden’s views on the surveillance state, but in the end, he’s a politician.
And finally, New York’s Attorney General is keeping her promise of attacking anything and everything Trump-related, including a gathering at a church:
This is a blatant attempt at government control of speech, and is blatantly being used to attack the political opponents of the current ruling class. This letter by itself should be enough to remove the AG from her position — but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Good luck out there today.
I'm neither a drinking nor a smoking woman but the urge to grab a pack of Marlboros and a bottle of slivovitz and hope we survive the duration is growing stronger every day.
Executive Privilege Means Nothing if the Next President Can Waive It | Opinion

"Executive privilege, rooted in Article Two of the Constitution, empowers the president to confer confidentially with members of his staff without fear that these secret communications will be made public. It is akin to similar privileges such as those with one's lawyer, priest, doctor and spouse. Their purpose is to encourage candid communications that are intended to remain secret."
"But now, the Biden administration is claiming that communications made by President Donald Trump when he was in office can be waived by subsequent presidents. If this were the case, it would mean the end of executive privilege, since no one would be able to count on the future confidentiality of communications made with a sitting president."
"That means President Joe Biden would not be able to assure his chief of staff or his secretary of state that their advice would not become the subject of a subpoena when the next president is sworn in. If a subsequent president is of a different party, he could play politics with the privilege and waive it in hopes of benefiting his party or reelection prospects. No one would be willing to give a sitting president controversial advice if he knew the next president had the power to disclose it."
